Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

A Paddle In the Sea

The first sign of summer
has this day appeared so clear
the sky's blue with sun about
you can feel it so very near

So to the beach I did go
Tshirt and shorts was my wear
took off trainers and socks
who's looking! I did not care

I then paddled along the sea
my feet was completely wet
so refreshing and cool the water
the time escaped like we'd never met

This is such a good feeling
wish it would last for ever
feeling the rays of the sun
all over myself like a flowing river

So pray for more sunny days
bright and warm is our wish
all over the world this summer
served up like our fav dish

AUTHOR NOTES: 
Walking along the beach on the Scottish North Ayrshire coastline the other day,
 it was our first really warm sunny day of the summer, just a few thoughts on the 
experience.
